Kuwait cancels residential addresses of 932 expats, warns of fines for non-compliance

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 25: The Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) has removed the residential addresses of 932 people from its records following property owners' declarations or building demolitions, according to an announcement published in the Official Gazette.

PACI said affected individuals must update their residential addresses within 30 days of the announcement's publication.

Those concerned can visit the authority to register their new addresses or complete the procedure through the government’s Sahel application, provided they submit the required supporting documents.

PACI warned that failure to comply within the specified period could result in penalties under Article 33 of Law No. 32 of 1982. The law provides for a fine of up to KD100, multiplied by the number of persons involved.

The authority urged affected residents to complete the address registration process by the deadline to avoid legal penalties.
